Turkey is experiencing one of the biggest sporting disappointments in recent years after its early elimination from the 2026 World Cup. The 1-0 loss to Paraguay, combined with the 2-0 defeat to Australia in the opening match, ended the adventure of the team led by coach Vincenzo Montella.
The result has caused strong reactions in Turkey, where the media and prominent football figures have harshly criticized the national team's performance. Considered one of the favorites to advance from the group stage, Turkey failed to take even a single point in the first two matches of the tournament.
Footage from the match in San Francisco showed the Turkish players emotionally devastated. Many were seen in tears on the pitch as they faced the reality of an early elimination.
One of the most touching moments was that of Arda Gyler. Turkish public television cameras focused on the midfielder immediately after the final whistle, capturing his first reaction after the elimination was confirmed.
" Oh God, why ?" the footballer is heard saying, while looking up at the sky with a deep expression of despair," Guler declared.
